Afraid not Helen, I don’t think the outfit would suit me and I am too much of a coward. Don’t even know why I went but I did see Mick McManus and Jackie Pallo. |

I used to go to the Drill Hall on Saturday nights to watch the wrestlers. Some of the wrestlers were Les Kellett, Kiwi Kingston, Mick McManus, Sky Hi Lee and Khan (cannot remember his first name), they were very skilled and great entertainers. |

Never watched it live, only on tv. Les Kellett was an out-and-out star entertainer |

I remember watching Mick McManus, Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks on World of Sport (with Dickie Davies)! Was part of our Saturday afternoon ritual. |

Another corker from Nicola Young on FB courtesy of the M.Toms collection. Nicola was not sure on the location but I think I've cracked it as a post-war view from the junction with Spon Street and the very bottom end of Holyhead Road (pre Ring Road) looking south along Queen Victoria Road. Cornercrofts is the giveaway - the square tower was part of their works.
You can see/match the view with this BFA image

I think the property with the 'Grand Gala' poster on is the one of the very left of The Plough here - If you zoom in on the image the Ad on the corner is from Potteries Plant Hire Co - My guessing is they did the clearance work. They were based in Torrington Avenue.
